BETTOR OFF - Authorisation of placings was withheld until Stewards had viewed the photo finish and confirmed the Judge's call of a dead heat for 1st place between ABSOLUTE BABE and BETTOR OFF after being unable to identify the nose of BETTOR OFF which was obstructed by the nose flap. Co-trainers S & A Telfer (represented by T Williams) admitted a charge under Rule 864(2)(a) and the Approved Gear Regulation after BETTOR OFF raced in unapproved gear due to the nose flap protruding past the horse's nose. After hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee imposed a fine of $600.
